I got this email from my Namibian outfitter this morning, just one of many things I appreciate about them. This is worth checking out just in case:



Dear Johnny

The following traveling requirement is applicable in the event your travels take you to South-Africa, even only in-transit:

Upon arriving to South-Africa, each passport is required to have two BLANC PAGES NEXT TO ONE ANOTHER in order to enter South-Africa. Two blanc pages back to back is not accepted in South Africa. If you do not adhere to this travel requirement, you will be send back to you country of origin without delay.

Let us know where and how we could be of any assistance during the planning process of your upcoming and scheduled safari.

Hit reply on this email, I’m standing by to help you!

That, plus SAPS would be enough to keep me from ever going through RSA again.

I knew that they had that crazy requirement, as do several other southern african countries, but for Transit, too?

They have another one must have a certified copy of child's birth certificate if traveling with a child under 18.

They may have that requirement but on my last trip, Aug. 2014, they stamped my passport all 3 times on the same page.
